Back Stronger: A Study of Learning Gaps in Indonesia, published by the Australian Government's Innovation Children Australia Partnership, is based on research conducted by the Center of Standard and Educational Policy (Pusat Standar dan Kebijakan) at Indonesia's Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, per a press release.
The study looked at more than 85,000 third-graders from 19 sub-districts in eight provinces, as well as at the level of basic literacy and numeracy in those students.
